why the need to lie?

Being out spend to me means that there was more support. To get support, you have to get money. It is almost like people are voting with money. So logically the one with more support to win the election will also get more money.. This whole recall was a big waste of money and time, but it sure does make things look better for the republicans.

The democrats just can't accept that the people of Wisconsin chose the man they want for governor. There has to be another reason for Walker's win.

Heaven forbid that they lost because... voters voted against them? Could that be?? Nah... this is their admittance that it's all about money. What the people want is unimportant. They seized on the idea because that's all they understand: How many people money can buy.

As I asked in another discussion why didn't the left raise more money? The people with the money did not want to back something that was not a sure winner. maybe he was not pro Union enough or not liberal enough. People knew what Gov. Walker stood for and what he has done they did not know how Mayor Barrett would do things and they did not want to pay for uncertainty. One advantage the democrats had in the past was they could count on massive amounts of workers many who were paid by the Unions to help out. During the labor action and during the recall there were many people from outside WI that helped out and it was never counted a a contribution.

So what You're saying is that Politicians can be economical with the truth? wow...

They have to blame it on something because "surely their message is pure and perfect"

Clearly they thought they would make points with the working class for saying these things, but the fact is both they give money to candidates on both sides. They hedge their bets...with the worker's money.

Only the left would use the excuse that they lost because they were outspent. I Yi Yi.

You might have a good point except the fact that Hotair is a major conservative blog. If you can show something that is neutral then I might believe you. Every major news source I have read has said Scoot Walker outspent Bennett 7, 71/2 to 1. Raising a historic amount of money from out out of state contributors. The question might be why does the right need to lie after they already won the recall? You guys got what you want. Who cares how you got there? At least that seems to be the countries motto as of late.
